22. Can flocks and herds be found and slaughtered for them? Or can all the fish in the sea be found and caught for them?"
23. The Lord said to Moses, "Is the Lord’s power too weak? Now you will see whether my word will come true for you or not."
24. So Moses went out and told the people the Lord’s words. He assembled seventy men from the people’s elders and placed them around the tent.
25. The Lord descended in a cloud, spoke to him, and took some of the spirit that was on him and placed it on the seventy elders. When the spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but only this once.
26. Two men had remained in the camp, one named Eldad and the second named Medad, and the spirit rested on them. They were among those registered, but they hadn’t gone out to the tent, so they prophesied in the camp.
27. A young man ran and told Moses, "Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp."
28. Joshua, Nun’s son and Moses’ assistant since his youth, responded, "My master Moses, stop them!"
29. Moses said to him, "Are you jealous for my sake? If only all the Lord’s people were prophets with the Lord placing his spirit on them!"
30. Moses and Israel’s elders were assembled in the camp.
31. A wind from the Lord blew up and brought quails from the sea. It let them fall by the camp, about a day’s journey all around the camp and about three feet deep on the ground.
32. Then the people arose and gathered the quail all that day, all night, and all the next day. The least collected was ten homers, and they laid them out around the camp.
33. While the meat was still between their teeth and not yet consumed, the Lord’s anger blazed against the people. The Lord struck the people with a very great punishment.
34. The name of that place was called Kibroth-hattaavah, because there they buried the people who had the craving.
35. From Kibroth-hattaavah the people marched to Hazeroth.
